Naperville, IL -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/04/2013 -- Reportstack, provider of premium market research reports announces the addition of MediPoint: Predictive Breast Cancer Gene Testing - Global Analysis and Market Forecasts market report to its offering
MediPoint: Predictive Breast Cancer Gene Testing - Global Analysis and Market Forecasts
Summary
Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women in both the developed and developing world. The incidence of breast cancer is increasing due to the increased life span and increasing adoption of Western lifestyle risk factors. Predictive breast cancer gene tests can be used to identify women who are at increased risk of developing hereditary breast cancer. The Predictive Breast Cancer Gene Testing market has seen exponential growth in the US, dominated by Myriad Genetics. Gene testing in Europe is mostly carried out by the state funded health sector, but increasingly private companies are offering breast cancer gene tests to physicians. Myriad Genetics position in the market is dependent on it being the leading provider of the most common breast cancer mutations. By the end of our forecast period, the competitive landscape will experience significant change due to the erosion of Myriad Genetics position, as a result of the expiry of key patents, and the emergence of alternative molecular technologies.
Highlights
Key Questions Answered
- Breast cancer can be caused by inherited mutations. Many of these mutations can be detected by genetic tests. How will predictive breast cancer gene testing be affected by the growing incidence of breast cancer? What are the true drivers for volumes of gene tests? Are secondary referrals to patients relatives having an indirect effect on the number of tests carried out?
- The most common breast cancer gene test is for the BRCA gene. What shifts are going to happen in the number of BRCA tests carried out?
- Predictive breast cancer gene testing is dominated by a single provider who has exclusive rights to a patented gene test. How will the expiry of patents during the forecast relating to the test affect sales of predictive breast cancer gene tests? How has this monopoly affected sales of predictive breast cancer gene tests?
- Gene testing is a fast evolving technological area. How will change in technology affect sales of predictive breast cancer gene tests? Who are the new players in gene testing? How will patient attitudes affect the predictive breast cancer gene testing market?
